“The attack from yet to be identified invader was said to be due to attempt to hijack the victim’s laptop while studying in one of the lecture halls.”
The DSA, however, said Olamide was in stable condition after the attack and that security operatives are already investigating the incident.
He said: “The situation is calm now.
“Olamide is very stable and receiving deserved attention.
“Security operatives are equally on ground for expected role.”

He said: “We appeal for no panic situation as there is no need for such.
“Meanwhile, students are enjoined to remain calm, go about their normal activities, move in groups where necessary and, provide relevant information for the safety of all.”
